NEW TESTAMENT

8 Now as touching (concerning) things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up (causes pride / arrogance), but charity edifieth (but love encourages / builds up).

² And if any man think that he knoweth (knows) any thing, he knoweth (knows) nothing yet as he ought to (should) know.

³ But if any man love God (Elohim; Yahuah), the same is known of him.

⁴ As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God (Elohim; Yahuah) but one.

⁵ For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many (many masters),)

⁶ But to us there is but one God (Elohim; Yahuah), the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ (Aḏon Yahusha HaMashiach), by whom are all things, and we by him.

⁷ Howbeit (However,) there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience (principles) being weak is defiled (polluted / tainted / contaminated).

⁸ But meat commendeth (approve) us not to God (Elohim; Yahuah): for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse.

⁹ But take heed lest by any means this liberty (right) of yours become a stumblingblock (stumbling block) to them that are weak.

¹⁰ For if any man see thee (you) which hast (who have) knowledge sit at meat in the idol’s temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened (encouraged) to eat those things which are offered to idols;

¹¹ And through thy (your) knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ (Mashiach) died?

¹² But when ye (you) sin so against the brethren (fellow believers), and wound their weak conscience, ye (you) sin against Christ (Mashiach).

¹³ Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth (stands), lest I make my brother (fellow believer) to offend (stumble).

1. SPELLING VERSION #1:-

Yeshua יֵשׁוּעַ (H3442 = He will save) is a shortened form of Yehoshooah / Yahushua יְהוֹשׁוּעַ (H3091 = God / Yah saves). EXAMPLE #1: Mike is a shortened form of Michael. EXAMPLE #2: Josh is a shortened form of Joshua.

Yehoshooah as spelt in this manner depicts Joshua יְהוֹשׁוּעַ (H3091 = yeh-ho-SHOO-ah) adds Hosea, יְהוֹשׁוּעַ (H1954 = deliver / salvation). Therefore, Yehoshooah / Yahushua means God is Salvation God  / Yah saves.

Yahushua as spelt in this manner depicts that the Messiah came in the name of His Father, Yah יה / יָהּ (H3050) as in John 5:43).

Having difficulties to discipline yourself to read the Holy Bible daily? Then you are in trouble! Stop deceiving yourselves!

WARNING from God (Yahuah) Himself: The Word of God (Yahuah) warned that if we do not have His word abiding (remaining) in us, then we are NOT believers (saved)! WAKE UP PEOPLE! Read John 5:38:-

John 5:38 King James Version (KJV)
And ye (you) have not his (His) word abiding in you: for whom he hath (He / Yahuah has) sent, him ye (Him you) believe not.

1 Thessalonians 5:11 King James Version (KJV)
“Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye (you) do.”

Hebrews 3:13 King James Version (KJV)
But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

Matthew 10:8 King James Version (KJV)
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye (you) have received, freely give.

Romans 10:9 King James Version (KJV)
That if thou shalt (you shall) confess with thy (your) mouth the Lord Jesus (Yahusha), and shalt (shall) believe in thine (your) heart that God hath (Yahuah has) raised him (Him) from the dead, thou shalt (you shall) be saved.

John 3:3 Amplified Bible (AMP)
Jesus (Yahusha) answered him, “I assure you and most solemnly (seriously) say to you, unless a person is born again [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified], he cannot [ever] see and experience the kingdom of God (Yahuah).”

Isaiah 52:6 King James Version (KJV)
“Therefore MY PEOPLE SHALL KNOW MY NAME: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth (He who does) speak: behold, it is I.”
